Part of #1291 step 3.

On the desktop, the Analysis pane's Zonal Statistics, Viewshed and Interpolate (IDW), and the map's right-click Viewshed … Here, ran on the UI thread. The window froze until they finished, with no progress and no way to cancel. They now run on a thread of their own, with their progress and Cancel under the pane's inputs, one at a time. A run from the map's menu opens the pane to show it. Their work still spreads over the cores (for_each_row, try_map) from that thread, and Cancel reaches every worker. The web app runs them inline as before.

How

  • Zonal Statistics goes through the Tools pane's background path from feat(gp): the Tools pane runs a built-in tool in the background, with progress and Cancel #1317 (gp::tool_start, ToolRun::run, tool_complete, then gp.finish), unchanged.
  • Viewshed and Interpolate split their work in cmd/workflows.rs. What they read of the session (the DEM, the points, the environment's extent and cell size) is taken when they start. The raster and its GeoTIFF are made on the thread (raster_start, RasterRun::run). The command then adds the layer when run again with {"ran": id}, as cube.trend does, so undo, history and the command log are as before. Run without ran, the commands make the raster where they're called, as they did.
  • rustgis_analysis::run_under runs work that isn't a built-in tool under a Control, the way run_with runs a tool. run_with now uses it.
  • Project and map: a run belongs to its project, through an id kept with it (Session::raster_runs, apart from the downloads'). It's cancelled the frame its project closes, and said so. A raster made for a map that's no longer the active one isn't added, as for a tool.
  • Record Task records the command without ran, so a replay works the raster out again. A raster handed over with ran is taken only by the command that made it.
  • Landing: finished runs, and the Zarr summary and the trend, land on every frame, the File menu's backstage view included, so a project saved there holds them.

Tests

  • analysis_workflows_run_on_another_thread (engine):
    • for both commands, the raster handed over from a thread is the one the command makes directly, bit for bit;
    • a used-up ran is refused, and so is another command's;
    • downloads started during a run don't push it out;
    • a cancelled run is an error saying so;
    • a run whose map is no longer active isn't added;
    • a run whose project was closed is dropped.
  • a_slow_workflow_runs_on_a_thread_and_lands (UI):
    • Interpolate starts from the pane, and a second run waits;
    • the layer lands, and the recorded step has no ran;
    • opening another project stops a run at once;
    • the map menu's entry opens the pane and reports a refused second run in the status bar.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • On desktop, Zonal Statistics, Viewshed, and Interpolate (IDW) now run in the background, with progress when available and an option to cancel. Only one workflow can run at a time.
    • The map’s Viewshed command also runs in the background and opens the Analysis pane.
    • Completed results are applied to the active project and map when appropriate; pending work is dropped if the project is no longer available.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the analysis guide to describe background workflows and clarify which tools still run synchronously.

…ate run in the background (opengeos#1291 step 3)

On the desktop these three ran on the UI thread, so the window froze
until they finished, with no progress and no way to cancel. They now run
on a thread of their own, with their progress and Cancel under the
pane's inputs, one at a time; their work still spreads over the cores
from that thread.

- Zonal Statistics goes through the Tools pane's background path
  (gp::tool_start, then gp.finish), unchanged.
- Viewshed and Interpolate split their work: what they read of the
  session is taken when they start, the raster and its GeoTIFF are made
  on the thread (workflows::raster_start, RasterRun::run), and the
  command adds the layer when run again with {"ran": id}, as cube.trend
  does, so undo, history and the log are as before. A run whose project
  was closed is dropped, and one whose map is no longer the active one
  isn't added, as for a tool.
- rustgis_analysis::run_under runs work that isn't a built-in tool under
  a Control, as run_with runs a tool.
- Record Task records the command without ran, so a replay works the
  raster out again.

Walkthrough

On desktop, Zonal Statistics, Viewshed, and Interpolate (IDW) can run as background jobs with progress and cancellation. Viewshed and interpolation results return through their commands. WebAssembly and other workflow commands remain synchronous.

Changes: Desktop Analysis background execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Control and deferred raster work
crates/analysis/src/lib.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs
run_with delegates to run_under, which runs named fallible work under an analysis control. Viewshed and interpolation prepare raster results for deferred execution and command handoff.
Session result storage and validation
crates/engine/src/lib.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs
Sessions store pending raster results and preserve them across project replacement. Tests cover handoff, run-ID reuse, cancellation, map changes, project replacement, and rejection of line-of-sight runs.
Desktop job orchestration and UI
crates/ui-egui/src/analysispane.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/mapmenu.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs, docs/user-guide/analysis.md
The Analysis pane starts, monitors, cancels, and lands eligible background jobs. Map-menu Viewshed dispatch uses this path, and command recording removes the internal ran parameter. The guide describes background execution and its scope.

Code review

I read the full diff, the surrounding download_*, tool_* and ui.pane.workflows code, and the map menu's previous run. I could not build, test or run the wasm target from here, so compile, clippy and cargo xtask ci status is unverified.

Bugs

  • made_or_ran accepts any ran id and never checks that the raster came from this command. A viewshed id passed to analysis.interpolate would land the wrong raster under interpolate's step. Low–medium confidence; posted inline. Crafted-input only, since the id is internal.
  • land_job says "its project was closed" when the 64-entry download cap evicts a pending raster id. The PR's Known limit documents the eviction, but the notice is wrong for that case. Low–medium confidence. Not posted inline.
  • filled uses is_ok_and, so a poisoned slot is never ready and the job runs forever. This contradicts fill's own comment. Low confidence, practically unreachable today; posted inline with a suggestion.

Security

  • No findings. The new ran path reads only ids the app created, and a crafted id can at worst add a raster to the active map (see the first Bugs item).

Performance

  • No findings. The GeoTIFF encode runs on the worker thread, and the landed raster is removed once used. raster_results holds at most two entries.

Quality

  • Nit, grouped: run_elsewhere has let _ = section; for the wasm path (analysispane.rs:168). Gating the parameter with #[cfg] would read more cleanly.
  • Nit, grouped: Made.ran is written on every desktop run but read only in raster_land. The cfg_attr(dead_code) on it is correct but easy to miss.

AGENTS.md

  • Checked and no violations found. No unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code. Errors reach the user through Session::notify or workflow.error. New UI strings use tl! or i18n::fmt. The catch_unwind boundary is the allowed last resort. The analysis crate stays free of egui.
  • The new hostile_params-style coverage is limited to the engine test. Nothing exercises a ran id from the wrong command, which is the gap in the first Bugs item.

Prior review threads: none, so no earlier concerns were left alone.

Findings posted inline: 2 (crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs:169, crates/ui-egui/src/analysispane.rs:318).

Move IDW input collection off the UI thread, or bound the feature count.

raster_start collects every feature's point and value in interpolate_work on the UI thread, before the worker spawns. A large layer blocks the window for the length of that pass, and no size check precedes it.

Update the Interpolate (IDW) workflow around interpolate_work so collecting
feature points and values does not run on the UI thread before worker startup;
move that pass into the worker, or enforce a feature-count bound before
collection. Preserve the existing interpolation behavior for accepted inputs.
Nitpick Add a mid-run cancellation case for the raster workflow.

25578-25582: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Add a mid-run cancellation case for the raster workflow.

The new cancel case sets the flag before run.run. It returns at the entry check, so no rows run. No existing test cancels Viewshed while its rows are being made, and no engine test cancels a raster_start run after it starts.

Row cancellation is already covered for IDW and for the shared for_each_row helper. A new case would add coverage for the raster workflow path and for Viewshed. Use the watcher pattern from a_tool_cancelled_while_it_runs_stops_with_how_far_it_came, and assert that the progress count is below the total.

Add a UI test for a background Zonal Statistics run.

No UI test starts gp.zonalStats through the analysis pane's run. a_slow_workflow_runs_on_a_thread_and_lands starts only analysis.interpolate. zonal_statistics_shows_available_band_range checks the band labels and never runs the tool. The engine tests cover only the synchronous zonalStats path and tool_start with other tools. A regression in the Zonal Statistics background dispatch or in its landing through gp.finish would not fail a UI test.

Add a test that starts gp.zonalStats through run, waits until land_job applies the result, and checks the output layer, the recorded history step, and the parameters.

…ds; a raster goes only to its command

- The Zarr summary, the trend and the Analysis workflows land on every
  frame, the File menu's backstage too, so a project saved there holds
  what they made.
- An Analysis workflow's run keeps its id apart from the downloads', so
  no number of downloads meanwhile pushes it out (it was dropped as if
  its project had closed).
- A raster handed over with ran is taken only by the command that made
  it.
- A job's slot is read through a poisoned lock, as it is written.

Code review

I found no bugs that would break the feature in practice. The one inline comment is a low-confidence "never silent" point on the run-id cap. I checked the new background path against the existing cube.trend/layer.addZarr ran pattern, the parallel.rs cancellation plumbing, the map-menu caller, the visibility/interpolate section ids, and the ui() landing order.

Bugs: none confirmed.

Security: none found. The ran id is only looked up in session-local state, and junk values give errors. RasterRun::run catches panics, and the ran/Made checks reject cross-command and cross-map hand-overs.

Performance: none found. The DEM is an Arc<Raster>, so the thread shares pixels and does not copy them. The GeoTIFF encoding now runs on the thread. interpolate_work still copies the point set on the UI thread at start; for very large point layers that's a short pause before the thread begins.

Quality (for the release quality pass):

  • crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs:256: raster_results drops its oldest raster silently when 2 are kept. This only happens if run_now fails after landing, so it's rare, but it's the same silent-eviction pattern as the inline comment.
  • crates/ui-egui/src/analysispane.rs (land_job, ~line 262): the two "project was closed" branches are near-duplicates and could be a single check before the match.
  • docs/user-guide/analysis.md (~line 809): the new sentence doesn't say the background runs are desktop-only. The web app runs them inline.

AGENTS.md: no violations found. Interface strings use tl!/i18n::fmt, the wasm gating is consistent, and there are no unwrap/expect calls in non-test code. The Zonal Statistics background path and the pane's Viewshed and Interpolate background runs have no UI test in this PR. The engine test covers the ran hand-over but not the pane's landing for those paths.

Already raised, left alone (4): the cross-command ran check, the poisoned-lock filled/take, the download-eviction interaction, and backstage landing. All four are resolved and the code matches the fixes.

…ground (#1291 step 3) (#1412)

* feat(ui): the Classification Wizard and Deep Learning run in the background (#1291 step 3)

From the Analysis pane on the desktop, k-means classes (raster.classify)
and a deep learning classification (dl.classify, training a model first
when asked) ran on the UI thread. They now run on a thread of their own,
with progress and Cancel, as Viewshed and Interpolate do since #1404.

- Their work is split as those commands' is: what they read of the
  session is taken when they start (the raster, and the training
  polygons' samples or the saved model), the classes and their layer
  (class colours, GeoTIFF) are made on the thread, and the command adds
  the layer when run again with {"ran": id}.
- workflows::Made now carries the layer itself, and what the command does
  once it is added: a model trained on the thread is kept in the project
  then, so a cancelled run keeps none.
- Record Task records both without ran, so a replay classifies (and
  trains) again.

* perf(engine): Deep Learning samples its training polygons on the run's thread

The pixels under the training polygons were sampled when a run started,
on the UI thread, which a training layer of many polygons could freeze
for a while, with no Cancel. They are now sampled as part of the work;
only the polygons, their classes and the model's settings are read when
it starts. A class whose polygons miss the raster is said when the run
ends.

Also: the model a classification uses is an enum, not a Result; tests
that a cancelled training keeps no model.

* fix(analysis): sampling training polygons counts its progress and stops when cancelled

Deep Learning's sampling of its training polygons now goes through
neural::training_samples, which counts the polygons for the pane's
progress and stops between polygons when the run is cancelled;
polygon_samples stops between rows. Cancel took effect only once the
first epoch began.

The test of a cancelled training now cancels the run once it is under
way, not before it starts.
